I cant for the love of god. Bleed my front brake after putting in a new piston in the master cylinder. There has to be an easier way.

I have a 2001 lowrider

 

I use a syringe and fill it from the bottom. Just make sure to put a rag or something over the master or it will shoot all over.....

 

Use a syringe to "push" fluid from the caliper to the M/C. Should be able to get large syringes from a horse equine saddle & tack store.
Use a clear vinyl tubing to the caliper bleed screw.
"Inject" the new fluid into the caliper's bleeder screw.
Be careful to not overfill your M/C!

 

Or spill brake fluid on any part of the bike

That **** is caustic..., and eats paint / PC like its candy

Ghost

 

Yeah, best to cover all surfaces with a garbage bag liner. Don't use cloth as it'll still contact painted surfaces.

 

Go to Harbor Freight and pick up a Mityvac for $40. It's worth it.

 

gravity bleed. just open the bleeder and let it flow.... just keep filling the reservoir

 

Make sure the pistons at the caliper are moving in and out ! They stick pretty easy but spray with brake cleaner and it should free them up...b.

 

I just did this **** new master, new lines and empty calipers. I alternated tapping the brake lines with a screw driver and pumping the lever till no more bubles came up out of the master, took awhile but it worked.

 

Never thought of the whole injecting fluid into the calipers. That's ****in innovative. Good idea whoever thought of it.
